Without a model number it's hard to tell but maybe it's set tot he wrong region. Try this to unlock it to be region-free:
1) make sure you donĀ“t have any DVD inserted and have Door Closed
2) IN remote control :
3) press SETUP
4) IN the Front Panel :
5) press NEXT
6) press STOP
7) press PAUSE/STEP
8) press PREV
9) press NEXT
You should now see a new MENU. Go to Select Region and make your choice:
- region 1
- region 2
- region 3
- region 4
- region 5
- region 6
- By Pass
Select ByPass and you're sweet. Not sure if it'll work with yours but it's worth a go.
